Greetings again

Further to previous comments I am led to believe that there is a
carving, possibly in Zennor Church, of a man dressed in clothing
similar to what the Early Scots wore before the current kilt. A length
of material roughly pleated around the waist and the loose end thrown
over the shoulder for warmth. Has anyone else heard this?

My mousepad has the Cornish National Tartan on it.

Cheers

Pat
